This season has been challenging for Al Wahda so far, and that also applies to Al Batin. These weathered teams eye some important points here.

Insights:
  • Al Wahda have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Al Batin have the most conceded goals (18) in Pro League

This football field has grass, which is not Al Batin's usual surface at their own arena. When playing on grass Al Batin have performed like this: Played 16 matches yielding 2 wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats with the goal difference 12-27 (scored/conceded).

These teams have little in common geographically as Al Batin have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Al Wahda and Al Batin.
